SUMMARY:Consuming Culture: Intoxicants in British Caricature
DESCRIPTION:Intoxicants – substances that alter one’s sense of control\, judgment\, speech\, or actions – were pervasive in eighteenth-century British culture and customs. Intoxicants like alcohol and tobacco were widely consumed across society\, prompting vigorous debates about what should be consumed\, where\, and by whom. \nConsuming Culture investigates intoxicants in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British caricature. Works by artists like William Hogarth\, James Gillray\, and Thomas Rowlandson reveal the ways in which these substances were entangled with complicated issues around class\, gender\, politics\, and space. As these prints demonstrate\, intoxicants were fluid signifiers that both reinforced and challenged social hierarchies\, political order\, and the pretensions of polite society. Curated by Leigh Mahlik\, Academic Curator\, UWM Art Collection and Galleries.

SUMMARY:Book Talk:  Uncanny Revivals: Designing an American Identity by Kay Wells
DESCRIPTION:Join C21 for a book talk celebrating Kay Wells’ Uncanny Revivals: Designing an American Identity. \nUncanny Revivals is an examination of how immersive colonial revival projects contributed to the formation of a White nationalist identity by inviting viewers to step into the past. \nFrom 1930 to 1950\, a number of design projects in the United States appeared to bring early American history to life. Sites and artworks such as Colonial Williamsburg\, the Winterthur Museum\, the Index of American Design\, and Narcissa Niblack Thorne’s miniature period rooms created immersive fantasies of the past in which visitors seemed to have direct contact with the look and feel of history. Accessible and entertaining for general audiences\, these popular projects also had the unsettling effect of naturalizing political ideologies of racial inequality. \nK. L. H. Wells examines the ways that colonial revival design produced new racial identifications in which the nation’s European immigrant communities and “old stock” Americans transformed from being seen as individual groups differentiated by region\, ethnicity\, and class to a White race with shared ties to early American history. Drawing on an astonishing breadth of archival sources—including letters from designers and audiences\, working drawings and documentary photographs\, government and corporate reports\, magazine articles and newspaper reviews\, and exhibition catalogues and guidebooks—Wells offers a revelatory look at how the affective dimensions of visual and material cultures in colonial revival design contributed to the making of twentieth-century American whiteness.
